Abstract: We prove the following theorem. Let $X$ be a discrete field, $xi$ and $eta$ be independent identically distributed random variables with values in $X$ and distribution $mu$. The random variables $S=xi+eta$ and $D=(xi-eta{)}^2$ are independent if and only if $mu$ is an idempotent distribution. A similar result is also proved in the case when $xi$ and $eta$ are independent identically distributed random variables with values in the field of $p$-adic numbers $mathbf{Q}_p$, where $p>2$, assuming that the distribution $mu$ has a continuous density.
